# MTSS School-Based Behavioral Health QA Dataset

This dataset contains a curated collection of real-world questions and corresponding expert responses related to Multi-Tiered Systems of Support (MTSS) and school-based behavioral health integration. Questions vary in style—ranging from open-ended reflections to specific, context-based prompts—and are often rooted in realistic school scenarios, with some referencing external case files.

## Dataset Summary

The dataset is designed to evaluate large language models (LLMs) on nuanced, domain-specific question-answering tasks. It captures authentic school-based inquiries around integrating behavioral health practices into academic systems.

Each entry includes:
- A **question** posed by a school professional (e.g., administrator, counselor, MTSS specialist)
- A **gold standard answer**, written by subject matter experts
- The **role** of the participant
- A reference to **case files** (when applicable)

This dataset enables fine-grained assessment of LLM performance on educational, behavioral health, and systems-level implementation topics.
